LOL, Jeff. Talk about not seeing the forest for the trees. As you observed, my use of Moodle has been primarily online course delivery and support, something I have been doing since 1980, back in the old BBS days. Over they years, I've worked with dozens of systems designed to deliver course synchronously, asynchronously, and in combination. I must say that I have egg on my face for overlooking all of your great examples and your fitting analogy. The fact is that regardless of how you intend to use it, Moodle is an environment that can be customized to fit just about any need. What you do with it is limited only by the imagination, vision, and skill of those implementing and using it. Art > From: Jeffrey L.
